Reflections on Biden Critics and American Electoral Integrity

Para. 1: It is often noted that negative comments about President Joe Biden are rare in the media. Instead, most coverage features feel-good stories about his personal life and achievements, ranging from his wife's accomplishments to his love for certain ice cream flavors and even the patterned socks he wears.

Even when bad news about Biden does surface, it is unlikely to stir much controversy. This is largely because his Democratic base remains supportive, despite a lukewarm sentiment. People's votes for Biden can be attributed more to the desire for continuity with the Obama administration and a fear of another term for President Donald Trump, driven by misinformation.

Personal Reflections on Respecting Elders

Para. 2: Personally, growing up with grandparents instilled in me a deep respect for older individuals, whether it be Biden or Trump. Any form of disrespect, whether it be spreading gossip or malicious comments, is offensive and reflects poorly on the person saying it. It is far more productive to critique someone based on their policies rather than attacking their character or private lives.

Americans, especially, love to create stories and news reports. These stories often become gross exaggerations or outright lies. It is not uncommon for the media to escalate minor issues into full-blown controversies, often surpassing the intensity seen in the British media.

Reflections on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Para. 3: It is baffling to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who claim to have left the UK to escape tabloid gossip, embracing the same level of hate and negativity directed towards President Trump. Their actions and remarks often reflect a superficial understanding of the struggles Trump faced during his presidency, which included intense criticism and relentless attacks on his character.

In stark contrast, Biden, despite facing some challenges in the early days of his presidency, has not endured the same level of suffering as Trump. The comparison is striking:

‘I feel terrible for (Trump and Melania).’

Para. 4: While some find Biden's critics, who are predominantly Republicans and Trump supporters, distasteful, it is important to recognize that many Americans do not view their opinions with the same level of concern. The Republican Party's attacks on Biden's character are misguided and reflect the behavior of those who are easily influenced by personal attacks rather than substantive policy critiques.

Why It Matters: The Importance of Upholding Electoral Integrity

Para. 5: The stakes were particularly high during the 2020 election, and the allegations of election fraud were not taken lightly. Advocates argue that if these allegations go uninvestigated, it may undermine public trust in the democratic process and potentially embolden those who support conspiracy theories. It is crucial to allow for a thorough and unbiased investigation into any claims of electoral wrongdoing.

It is essential that the media and public officials adhere to the laws of state and federal election procedures, ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process. Any unethical or untested claims of fraud should be treated with skepticism until evidence is presented.

The Future of Biden's Presidency

Para. 6: At this point, the only valid form of criticism regarding Biden should focus on his policies rather than personal attacks. Once he has filled major leadership roles and made key decisions, it will be appropriate to examine and critique his actions. However, any character assassination tactics employed by the opposition are nothing more than petty and mindless behaviors.

The integrity of the American democracy depends on our ability to engage in rational and respectful discourse. The harsh attacks on Biden, influenced by the partisan media, are a sentiment that ultimately benefits no one and only serves to divide the nation further.
